Darlene Hill, left, and her daughter, Jessica Hill, 22, hold a copy of a Feb. 17, 1995, Hattiesburg American. On Valentine's Day 1995, a 4-year-old Jessica found her pregnant mother unresponsive on the kitchen floor and called 911. The Hattiesburg American did a story on the child who saved the lives of her mother and sibling. This fall, Jessica will enter the University of Mississippi Medical School in Jackson with hopes of becoming an emergency room doctor.
